E3 2012: Day One Round-Up

This year's E3 kicked off with a Microsoft press conference full of content but short on surprises. Gears of War: Judgement received its first trailer and we had the chance to witness some incredible Halo 4 gameplay footage. Once again, Microsoft focused on its entertainment offerings, introducing new ways to connect devices. Electronic Arts officially announced a few titles that were already on the radar, dropping in a few release dates to boot.

Sony's conference was Vita heavy, with new Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed games confirmed, not to mention a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale port. The 'Wonderbook' collaboration with J.K. Rowling, meanwhile, is an attractive prospect, especially for Harry Potter fans. It was Ubisoft who arguably stole the show, however, with the announcement of Watch Dogs, an exciting open-world game set in Chicago.

Join us at 5pm BST / 2pm EST / 9am PST for the latest Nintendo news as it breaks, followed by trailers and screenshots of the biggest announcements.
